United States President Donald Trump said he has been briefed on the concept of a new proposal from Iran but is waiting to review its exact wording, expressing skepticism that it would be acceptable. He warned that the United States could restart military strikes if Iran 'misbehaves,' while reiterating that Iran can never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.

According to an Iranian official, Tehran has formally proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending disruptions to shipping in exchange for lifting the United States blockade and halting attacks. The proposal would postpone detailed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program to a later stage, aiming first to end hostilities and stabilize the region.

Trump said he prefers not to pursue further military action but maintained that it remains an option. He faces domestic pressure as disruptions in the strait have affected global energy supplies and increased fuel prices. Despite a suspension of bombing campaigns four weeks ago, the two sides remain far from a comprehensive agreement, with Iran insisting its nuclear program is peaceful and seeking recognition of its right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes.
